What are your thoughts on the game coming up versus the Miami Heat? What are the Clippers keys to get a win? Which opposing player(s) should LA be wary of? Will the game be bombs away by both teams or first to 100 gets the W? Are there any injury/player availability updates?
No Kawhi for this one. Let's see if the Clippers can somehow get a win just like the Detroit game the other night, though can't be expecting 50 from Harden again.
Clippers an excellent job thus far, lead by Zu, Bogie & JH, leading by 11 in the 3rd. Rebounding much better- just need to cut down on the giveaways.
B2B bingos by Harden & now DJJ stops the Heat mini-run, lead back up to 10. Now Zu the extra effort!
Another turnover by Bogie on the drive, and a smart timeout by the Clippers here.
They can't stop Zu inside as the big fella able to put on a series of moves for the and 1 slam! Clipper lead back up to 7.
Clips unable to hit the jumpers now as Zu goes to the bench. The lead is down to just 3.
Coffey the tough turnaround in the lane, now the corner bingo! Clippers up 92-84 going in to the 4th after the Heat had cut it to 3.
Jordan Miller a smart and aggressive take after looking off the defender!
How about that- Drew Eubanks with a little hook inside
Now the Brewmaster from the other corner!
Bogie notches his 21st point as he hits that little floater inside. Clippers up 101-88! This second unit has played much better compared to last night.
DJJ missing a lot of FTs lately
Bogdanovic all day as they give him that short midrange J!
Dunn is back but he seems to be favoring that leg. Bogie feeling it, now drills another bingo! He has 28 now in by far his best showing as a Clipper.
Coffey again from the corner! That was setup by all the attention the Heat were paying Zu inside.
Harden now drills the dagger 3, Clips up 115-100 with 3:43 left.
That looks pretty clear that Wiggins touched Harden's forearm as the 3 was going up. If that Miami challenge fails, that should really shut the door.
Challenge fails, Harden with 3 FTs to seal the deal pretty much.
This was a pleasant surprise. So many guys stepped up so Harden didn't have to do it all himself. Zu was great as usual- 26 and 15 as the Heat had no answer for him inside. Bogdanovic was huge with all those 3's and actually from all over- midrange, floaters- you name it. Bogie with 30 points and 11 boards to boot. Coffey back to his regular dependable self. Harden with a poor shooting night, but still notched a near triple double.
Just great job all around- DJJ, Batum, Dunn, and even Miller and Eubanks all contributed.
Wonder what the Clipper record is this season without Kawhi, as long as Harden is playing. Hmmmm...
Good team effort. Bogdanovic was amazing.
Bogie, keep producing like this so that we can forget Tre Mann (although we like him) for whom you got traded for.
These types of wins make us feel better especially when we had a depleted team.
Game highlights:
didnt watch the game, why was Ty Lue not there at the end to greet Spo?
